Two high galactic latitude B-type stars, PG1323-086 and PG1704+222, are analysed from low and medium resolution optical spectra and Stroemgren photometry. A differential abundance analysis for He, C, N, O, Mg, Al, and Si reveals that the He…
By virtue of their spectral types, favourable bolometric corrections as well as their constrained distances, post-AGB stars in external galaxies offer unprecedented tests to AGB nucleosynthesis and dredge-up predictions. We focus here on…

In this paper, we present a study of the proto-planetary nebula (PPN) IRAS 06530$-$0213 based on low- and high-resolution spectra. The low-resolution spectrum shows that star is an F5 supergiant with molecular C$_{2}$ and C$_{3}$ and…
